This is a drawing of a comic book cover scene. The cover reads "REAL PULP COMICS," with the issue priced at fifty cents and labeled for adults only. At the center of the illustration, a woman in a green bikini is depicted floating or falling in a dynamic pose across an alien landscape or outer space setting. Her legs are extended towards the viewer, suggesting movement. Above her, a spacecraft hovers, with a cartoonish creature visible in one of the windows. The surface below her features unusual terrain with vegetation or rock formations, and to the right, a small octopod-like creature is present. The color palette is bold, with vibrant blues and reds indicating a dramatic environment in line with the pulp theme.
